Best Golf Clubs Of 2010 Part 5 - Wedges

These are the scoring clubs. It is like a free-kick in soccer just outside the penalty box. You have to put it on for a solid chance to convert. When golfers do not put it on the green with a wedge by over hitting, it is like blasting a free-kick into row Z in the stadium seat or when hitting under then it is like ramming a free-kick into the human wall. Just that in golf and the repercussion is often more serious as you have to play from where your ball lies. In soccer, you just get a throw in for either side.

So why not give out more handicap strokes to your fellow golfers and you will be long remembered and talked about? Which is the most important club in your golf bag? Is It The..... Driver?

(Second picture shows the Cleveland (L-R) CG14 Gelback @ 60 degrees, 588 Tour Action Gun Metal @ 56 degrees & CG10 @ 52 degrees).   The Golf game is not as gruesome as say bull fighting where matadors kill bulls and shout "Ole!" or vice versa. Of course the bulls' "Ole!" shout does not sound the same to human ears. Sergio Garcia and Jimenez have picked the right game. A tourist at a restaurant in Spain saw someone at another table enjoying an exotic dish and so he told the waiter it looked delicious and wanted to order the same. The waiter came to him later "here's your order of bull's testicles Senor". After chomping away, he ordered the same dish in advance for the next day as it tasted so good. Sure enough the next day came along and he delightfully chomped away and mopped off the entire plate but can't help noticing a difference and remarked to the waiter: "how come the balls are much smaller today than ...
